North End District offers residential charm near downtown

Bordering downtown Waterbury, the city’s North End District is a heavily residential neighborhood that offers easy access to urban conveniences. The area is also notable for its relative affordability compared to the greater New Haven metropolitan area and the state; the median sale price of $244,000 here is significantly lower than that of the surrounding areas and the state as a whole. Outdoor parks and amenities throughout the neighborhood help stoke a tight-knit sense of community: “Of all the dozen or so neighborhoods in the city, nearly all of them have a dedicated community club or recreation center for residents,” says Lana Ogrodnik, a local Realtor with Showcase Realty, Inc., who has sold real estate in this area for multiple decades. “There are a fair number of employers in town, but we also have a lot of commuters going to and from New York because they have access to the metro station,” she adds, referring to the Waterbury Metro-North Train Station in the downtown area. The North End District has an overall CAP Index Crime Score of 6 out of 10, slightly higher than the national average of 4.

Commuter-friendly bus services and metro station

Though some parts of the neighborhood are walkable, North End District is largely car-dependent, with residents relying on their vehicles for daily travel. Locals have quick access to major highways like Interstate 84 and Route 8, but traffic can cause significant congestion on both thoroughfares during rush hour. This area has several public transit options, including CT Transit bus services. Downtown Waterbury has a Metro-North Railroad station that connects riders directly to Bridgeport, New York City and several other coastal cities between Connecticut and New York. Bradley International Airport is under an hour away, and St. Mary’s Hospital has a 24-hour emergency department less than a mile from the neighborhood.
